Dear Colleagues,

Please consider the following event related to infrastructure impacts and the geophysics of more or less constant low level seismicity.

In collaboration with the American Society of Civil Engineers and the US Army
Corps of Engineers, the Forum, 24-26 August, will provide an opportunity for active engagement of all attendees in casual but focused round-table type discussions of key issues concerning infrastructure assessment, renewal, and resiliency.

Resiliency of infrastructure and specifically critical lifeline infrastructure to high level seismicity (large earthquakes) are often an integral part of design, construction, and execution. Today, however, infrastructure in many parts of the country, particularly the Central USA, face threat from low-level seismicity, which due to their recurrence pattern appear to be impacting structures in complex ways that cannot be readily explained. Damages are real and the need to monitor infrastructure health is real. Geophysical methods can help in monitoring both above and below the ground. The forum explores symbiosis between geophysics and design and maintenance of lifelines.
A unique feature will be the production of deliverables, via a white paper and executive summaries designed for sponsors, collaborators, and policymakers; and technical summaries for SEG, ASCE, and other professional society publications. The production of these deliverables will be through writing projects for volunteers, facilitators, presenters, and attendees.
